“It�s rare that the description of a wine on the packaging doesn�t over-promise, but the Rain Dance box says simply, �a smooth, easy drinking red wine with berry and fruit flavors.� We agree with that minimalist description. The wine has a pleasing aroma of spice and berries, and the flavor is smooth - berries and oak, with some peppery spice. The finish is slightly acidic, which plays well with the rest of the experience. This may not be a big, complex red, but it�s a crowd-pleaser that should prove enjoyable to a range of palates.”
